Configuration Using the Web-based Utility

Business Series Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Admin > Port Mirroring

Port  mirroring  monitors  and  mirrors  network  traffic  by 

forwarding  copies  of  incoming  and  outgoing  packets 

from one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be 

used as diagnostic tool and/or a debugging feature. Port 

mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network  administrators  configure  port  mirroring  by 

selecting a specific port to copy all packets, and different 

ports from which the packets are copied.

Admin > Port Mirroring

Set the following attributes for port mirroring using the 

Port Mirroring

 screen.

Target  Port 

The  port  that  will  mirror  the  traffic  on  the 

source port.

Source Port 

The port whose traffic will be monitored.

Type 

Allows you to select which traffic to mirror to the 

target port; receive, transmit, or both.

RxOnly 

Mirror only received traffic. This is the default 

value.

TxOnly 

Mirror only transmitted traffic.

Both 

Mirror both received and transmitted traffic.

Specify the source port, the traffic type to be mirrored, and 

the target port, then click 

Add to List

. The mirror session 

is displayed in the text box.

Admin > Save Configuration

Admin > Save Configuration

The 

Save Configuration

 screen allows you to upload Switch 

configuration files to a TFTP server, or to download saved 

Switch configuration files from a TFTP server or from your 

computer via the HTTP interface. 

Via  TFTP 

Select  this  to  upload  to  or  download  from  a 

TFTP  server. When  you  select  this  option,  the  following 

fields are displayed.

UPGRADE 

Select  this  option  to  restore  the  Switch 

configuration from the file located on a TFTP server.

TFTP Server 

Enter the TFTP Server IP Address that 

contains the source file to download.

File Name 

Enter the name of the configuration file 

on the TFTP Server.

BACKUP 

To  back  up  the  Switch  configuration  to  a 

TFTP server, enter the TFTP server address.

TFTP Server 

Enter the TFTP Server IP Address to 

which the configuration file will be saved.

File  Name 

Enter  the  name  of  the  configuration 

file. The default is 

StartupCfg.cfg

.

Via HTTP 

Select this to download a configuration file to 

the Switch from your computer using the HTTP interface. 

(HTTP only supports the upgrade operation. You cannot 

back  up  the  configuration  file  using  HTTP.)  When  you 

select this option, the following field is displayed. 

Source  File 

Enter  the  name  and  path  of  the  file  or 

click 

Browse

 to locate the configuration file.

Click 

Save Settings

 to begin the download or upload.

After you have downloaded the configuration file to the 

Switch during an upgrade, the configuration file’s settings 

will not take effect until the system is rebooted.
